What can I say about Elissa and Andrew that isn’t evident from the pure energy of these photos? Andrew and Elissa are from Texas, Dallas to be exact, and as big as that state is, completely replicated the size of their energy and love for each other. They are die hard cross fitters and I swear they could have benched pressed each other throughout the ceremony if they wanted to! I think Andrew picked Elissa up like a feather at least 85 times while I was there in pure, unadulterated passion for each other. Their entire entourage flew in from Texas to celebrate in Lake Tahoe at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe hotel. The waterfront setting was the perfect escape and venue for their amazing brunch wedding. Now the simple mention of a brunch wedding might leave you wondering about the lack of the traditional rough and rowdy reception dancing that most weddings portray deep into the night. Please leave those thoughts at home because this wedding rocked the house in broad daylight! Apple Z brought out the funk and the energy and spirit of the day was nothing I’d seen before before 3pm! They had a getaway boat ride planned to end the celebration but the waves were so rough on the lake that they improvised with a flower toss instead. I am blessed to have been a part of this union and celebration and only wish I could have stayed for the after wedding poker tournament.

Danielle and Jeff got married on a perfect Tahoe summer day at the Hyatt Regency in Incline Village. Now those of you that know me personally, know that Tahoe is my happy place. So you can imagine how thrilled to the core I was when I pulled up to Danielle and Jeff’s rooms to meet them for the first time. The most gorgeous couple ever getting married in my favorite place? Yes, yes, and yes again. Because they live out of state in Arizona, we didn’t get a chance to meet in person before their wedding day. Both families were so kind and gracious that it felt as if I’d known them forever. Danielle’s dress was absolutely epic and the entire bridal party knocked it out of the park with their classic style and swanky personalities. The most heartwarming part of the day besides the union of bride and groom, was the relationship Danielle and Jeff have with their daughter. Watching the love and bond between the three of them stole my heart. You can probably assume which image is my favorite from the day as you start to scroll through the images. Thank you for having me there to capture this memorable day for you and your families. I left Lake Tahoe that evening brimming with warm fuzzies.

Special thanks to Caity Hunt from Hyatt Lake Tahoe for organizing such a lovely event.
